Galipolo Vow on Higher-for-Longer Brazilian Rates Boosts Bets on Cycle's End
The bank has front-loaded monetary policy and now it's logical to keep it tight for a longer period of time, Galípolo said during an event Monday in São Paulo organized by Goldman Sachs Group Inc.. The governor also said Brazil isn't even close to debating an inflection in monetary policy.

Hedge Funds Are Hurting From a Garbage Rally. Who's to Blame?
Quant equity hedge funds have enjoyed a strong run for nearly two years, with the first half of 2025 being particularly good. But many of the most prominent funds saw losses in June and especially July, due to what quants are calling a 'garbage rally' and blaming on retail day traders. This appears to be unprecedented in several respects. Previous meme stock rallies were driven by medium-term retail investors, and previous quant hedge fund losses were steeper but lasted only a few days. Now we seem to be seeing meme day traders inflicting many weeks of small losses. Previous quant equity losses hit long and short positions equally, this time it's only the short positions. Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s most shorted-stocks basket has surged at a near record pace and its Speculative Trading Indicator is at over three-year highs, according to a Bloomberg News report last Thursday.

Citi's Gold Bears Turn Bullish on US Growth, Inflation Concerns
(Bloomberg) — Citigroup Inc. (C) revised its bearish forecast for gold (GC=F), with analysts now predicting bullion will rally to a record high in the near term due to a worsening US economy and inflation-boosting tariffs. We Should All Be Biking Along the Beach Seeking Relief From Heat and Smog, Cities Follow the Wind Chicago Curbs Hiring, Travel to Tackle $1 Billion Budget Hole NYC Mayor Adams Gives Bally's Bronx Casino Plan a Second Chance The precious metal will trade between $3,300 and $3,600 an ounce over the next three months, due in part to US import levies averaging higher than the anticipated 15%, analysts including Max Layton said in a note on Monday. That contrasts with Citi's view in June, when the bank said gold would trade below $3,000 an ounce in the coming quarters. 'The market has been concerned about a US recession due to high interest rates for the past three years, buying gold to hedge the downside risks,' they wrote. 'This fear has likely only increased over the past six months given President Trump's largest-in-a-century trade tariff agenda.' After rallying sharply in the early part of the year and hitting a record high above $3,500 an ounce in April, gold has been in a holding pattern for the last few months as the market seeks fresh direction. Citi's change of heart brings it into line with other more bullish analysts at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Fidelity International. Despite their more bullish outlook, the Citi analysts said their previous near-term price forecast of between $3,150 and $3,500 an ounce had 'worked out well', pointing to recent months of consolidation. They also reiterated a more cautious stance on gold in 2026, citing a possible end to the pause on US hiring now that investors have more certainty on trade and possible stimulus from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
